Wordless Wednesday .... "Tilapia"

 

What is it?.........................
Tilapia


Where does it grow?......... 
North America & Africa (warm fresh water)

How do you prepare it?....
Anyway you like it... Grilled, Baked or Fried
 
What does it taste like?.....  
It is a very mild white fish with not very many bones.

Have you ever tried it?......
Yes... We eat it about once a week, because Tilapia is low fat, low saturated fat, low calorie, low carbohydrate, low levels of mercury and a low sodium protein source. It is also an excellent source of Phosphorus, Niacin, Selenium, Vitamin B12 and Potassium.

What recipe would you suggest using this mystery Ingredient?.....
We love it in a fish sandwich for Lunch. We lightly bread a Tilapia Fillet fry it for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until white and flaky. Cut Fillet in half and place both halves in a caramelized hamburger bun add a thin slice of cheese, some tarter sauce and a little bit of shredded Lettuce. Enjoy!!!!

  1. I make Tilapia a couple times a week. I usually just braise it off on both sides in my non-stick skillet spritzed with PAM. Then just before serving I add a couple Tbls. of water and put the lid on really quick to steam it. This really flakes it up. For me, I like it with a little Balsamic Vinegar. Hubby uses ranch dressing on his.
